Travelocity Verified Review

"Family of four stayed there for holiday. - Food was AMAZING! We had breakfast and Lounge bites with wine. We still talk about it. - View was just perfect. It would be even better when the construction finishes. - Outdoor hot spa was a bonus but would have been good if we knew about it when we booked the accommodation. We were informed when we checked in and all sessions were already booked out. However, we got to go as there were some cancellations! - All staffs were very friendly and helpful. - I didn’t realise our room & dining were in different buildings. It was cold but ok. - Parking at times were hard to find so we had to park quite far on the first day but ok. - We would love to be back just to eat there :)"
